Fenced yard & flexible schedule
Pet care experience
Hello! My name is Ali. I'm a wife, mother, and full-time student. (That's like code for "nurturing" and "super responsible".) I love animals and have had pets all my life. I have experience with all types of dogs: big, small, young, old, healthy and special needs. My husband Brian and I both grew up with dogs and had many adventures with our own two rescue pups. Our second sweet dog passed away last winter at age 14, and the whole family has missed having dogs around. We started dog-sitting for friends and found our way to Rover! Brian and I have a fenced-in yard, a flexible schedule, years of experience and lots of love to share. We are all set up to host your pet in our home and provide safe loving care. I am also an avid walker and would be so happy to hit the pavement (or grass) with your four-legged friend. We will definitely get another dog of our own some day. In the mean time, let us love on yours!
Reviews
Alison & Brian were fantastic. They asked so many questions during our meet and greet to ensure they knew all the important information they needed to adequately care for our dog. When we were on vacation we received plenty of pictures and updates so we felt at ease knowing he was doing well. Our dog had some bad seasonal allergies while we were away. We got a text update and we called to see what was going on. She was calm and professional but also concerned for his welfare. She agreed to pick up a prescription from the vet and kept us updated during the next few days. We evaluated his progress and made additional changes to his treatment and she was willing to help us do whatever she could to help Bear. I can’t thank her enough for her extra care and attention she gave to our dog while we were away. We highly recommend them for any dog sitting needs.
Alison & Brian were the most amazing Dog Sitters! They really went above and beyond in taking care of my energetic 2 year old Lab. Chewy is very spirited, and I was very nervous leaving him, but Alison & Brian send me many pictures to put my mind at ease. He had a wonderful time - lots of walks, playing in their yard, and fun with in their neighborhood. I could tell when I picked him up he had such a wonderful time. I am so grateful to Alison & Brian for taking Chewy - they are such dog lovers and would recommend them to anyone looking for a caring, wonderful family to make their pet feel like they are at home. Thank you again !!
Ali and her family have watched our two dogs on several occasions. They are dog lovers who appreciated our pups as much as we do! Ali even sent us photos of the dogs while we were away. Seeing the dogs enjoy life while we were out of town allowed us to rest easy and have an even better trip. If Ali is available to watch your dogs, don't hesitate to use her. Your dogs will be loved and doted on just as much (if not more!) than at home. Thanks for taking such great care of Boofy and Trixie!
Ali is so great with my dog Harley! She’s so friendly and upbeat, reliable and trustworthy. I’d never have any worries leaving Harley in her care. Thanks for being so amazing! You're the best.

Your dog will enjoy chasing squirrels and bunnies out of my fenced-in yard, playing (closely supervised) games of fetch with my two boys, and lovely walks around Larchmont, Lochaven, or Colonial Place.
